Pros

Decent benefits for full-time cafe employees, including PTO, employee discounts, and holiday pay.

Cons

Upper management has little respect for employees and is generally not concerned about quality of products or employee satisfaction. Profit seems to be the main motivator, and they will do whatever is necessary to cut corners. It is also nearly impossible to get any response from management despite numerous emails, texts and phone calls.

Pros

I work at FairWave HQ, and it’s truly a great place to grow. The environment is fast-paced and entrepreneurial, with a strong focus on collaboration and purpose. We champion local brands and celebrate the people behind them. If you're looking for a place where you can make an impact and develop your skills, FairWave is a fantastic choice.

Cons

If you're looking for a lot of structure and clearly defined tasks, this might not be the right fit.

Pros

You get to work with coffee, learn a lot, meet a lot of amazing people.

Cons

There have also been moments that make you question fairness and inclusivity from upper management. At times it feels like certain voices are not heard or valued the same, which creates a really uncomfortable environment. Overall, there needs to be more accountability, better communication, and a genuine commitment to supporting all employees equally.
